I would highly recommend attorney Giovani for your business and contract needs. I have used Giovani privately and as my General Counsel for my company, Bella Pools of South Florida. He is always thorough in his assessments of my legal issues and has provided my company with clear and practical options. We were able to finalize a great deal of business, saving thousands of dollars. His knowledge is vast and deep. He is an excellent lawyer.

In this day and age it is hard to find good things to say about lawyers. But concerning the manner in which Mr. Giovani Mesa assisted me in my litigation, I have nothing but praise for him. My litigation was against a public servant (only) for violating my civil rights. I really do not know if there are enough words to express my gratitude in the professional manner in which Mr. Mesa aggressively acted in my defense . Having discovered that the statute of limitations was expired on a Monday, Mr. Mesa was able to compose our Federal complaint in only three days, over the weekend , and have it filed on time. Not wishing to have the tax payers suffer a financial burden the government was excluded in our litigation. To our surprise the government agency joined the litigation and began filing numerous motions to dismiss, which were denied by the Federal Judge assigned. Over the course of more than a year, Mr. Mesa continued to keep me advised of every phase of our litigation. The countless hours of his work in my defense and the numerous hours of phone calls and all the information which he provided not only educated me to the reality of litigation but instilled in me total confidence that Mr. Mesa treated his clients more than just a number. Having concluded our litigation, Mr. Mesa was able to prove and expose the truth as to how governmental agencies will gladly throw away tax payers hard earned money in defense of a public servant who had already admitted that he had violated my rights. But even more important to me was for me to learn that there are true professionals in the practice of law.
In closing , I would recommend to every family member and friend that I have that should they have any legal problem, in which Mr. Mesa practices that kind of litigation, that they can know that they have hired a man of integrity and honor. And for everyone else , you can stop looking any further , Mr. Giovani Mesa is the man you want in your corner and watching your back.

I just finished working with Chris and cannot thank him enough for handling my case with an auto insurance company. He became involved because I had spent five months making no progress and beginning to believe nothing positive was in sight. However, once Chris consulted with me, I felt much more confident and he agreed to take my case and through his commitment and expertise he was able to make sure I received an extremely satisfactory settlement. Thank you so much for your dedication to your clients and their well being.

Can a Lawyer Represent Me in Courts Outside of Deerfield Beach, Florida?
Whether a lawyer can represent you in courts outside of your city or state depends on their licensure and the jurisdiction of the court:
-
Within the Same State:
Lawyers licensed in a particular state can typically practice anywhere within that state, including all cities and counties. They can represent you in both state and federal courts located in that state. -
Outside of Their Licensed State:
If your case is in a different state, the lawyer must be licensed in that state to represent you. However, there are exceptions:- Pro Hac Vice Admission: An out-of-state lawyer can request special permission to represent a client in a specific case in another state. This requires filing a motion with the court and often working in conjunction with a local attorney.
- Federal Courts: If your case is in federal court, a lawyer licensed in any state may be able to represent you, provided they are admitted to practice in that particular federal court.
-
International Representation:
For cases outside the United States, different rules apply, and the lawyer may need to comply with the foreign country's legal requirements or collaborate with local counsel.
It's important to discuss your specific situation with the lawyer to determine if they can represent you in the desired jurisdiction and what steps may be necessary to do so.

Awards and Recognitions:
Honors from reputable organizations reflect expertise and a positive reputation in the legal community. -
Consultation Assessment:
